This "feud" of mine isn't very fun when you take me so seriously, B_Buster. I'm attempting (and failing, I guess) to be playful about it. You creep.
I do think Lehane is very talented, still, even though I feel like most his books don't deliver in the end. The prose is often good, or the dialogue is, or something in the plot will genuinely delight and surprise me, but as complete works, I only like a couple of them with any real enthusiasm.
